Reading “The essence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah”

Reading “What the Wisdom is about before I go about elucidating the history of the Wisdom of Kabbalah…”

1. R. (03:08) Here maybe you could add that because all actions and creation from beginning to end are in the hands of the Creator only. That is why there is nothing to talk about but only the actions of the Creator and creation. Even if we learn them through science or corporeal Revelations, still we need to understand that the main actions of the Creator are above us that we do not attain them and there we can really reach the recognition of his internality and the real reasons of existence in creation.

Reading “And here there is conduct of general and particular….”

2. S. (06:23) If I were told that a lecture and assuming that a person knows what he's talking about I would ask him why there isn't a clear method. How do we go from the general to the particular, why isn't it explained anywhere?

R. I guess it can be revealed to beginners or because it is not allowed to or because it is not possible.

S. What do we say that today it is permitted to reveal?

R. So reveal, please.

S. Can we write such a method?

R. Write a method?

S. Yes, simply explain to people what is the method to reach from the general to the particular.

R. If you can, then please.

S. Maybe we must do it?

R. Mister if you can write it, is somebody telling you not to?

3. S. (07:43) He defines the goal as the revelation of his godliness to his creatures in this world and then he says that here there is general and particular and the generals for all of humanity and it must eventually come to this immense development. What does a humanity that reveals Godliness look like?

R. I don't know if I myself am not there yet.

S. What does it mean the revelation of godliness to humanity?

R. I don't know, I myself am not there yet.

S. Where to Kabbalist want to bring Humanity?

R. Obviously to such a state.

S. What is that state?

R. It’s the end of all the vessels of the created beings.

S. Where do we want to advance humanity?

R. The end of the correction of the vessels?

S. But what is it?

R. I don't know I'm not there yet.

4. S. (08:53) How can we understand what is Godliness?

R. It depends on what definition, something you can understand, let us say compared to a baby or a child that you can make a bit of a difference in what people answer you.

S. According to what Baal HaSulam says, that according to His Godliness what does he mean by that?

R. I don't know. I'm not in Baal HaSulam’s place. I do not know what he means.

S. I don't know what Godliness is?

R. I don't either. Each one according to his measure.

S. Is it related to the name Elohim God that we learned?

R. You can learn whatever you want but what is in that name of God, I do not know.

S. How should we understand this definition?

R. As much as we learn more I guess we understand more.

5. S. (10:25) Can it be said that the general and the particular are the revelation of the Creator? The revelation of the Creator in practice and in potential from the perspective of the result and from the perspective of the reason?

R. No it is not written like that.

6. S. (11:05) We have been teaching students for many years. I wanted to ask about some phenomenon that I've noticed that is happening lately. Since October 7th, what happened here in Israel we started a pretty big virtual campus, and the feeling is that the students are different. Something happened. They come as if they are more ready. I don't know how to explain it. I'd like to ask you what is this phenomenon? What is actually happening here?

R. A change in Providence, a change in bestowal the Upper bestowal upon us, that we still do not discern yet, or tell the difference between what was and what is, but there are changes.

S. From our perspective it seems like there's a new opportunity here?

R. Yes it has, for sure.

S. But I am trying to get a deeper understanding from you. What is this opportunity? What has opened for us?

R. Baal HaSulam writes that if we connect according to the extent that we connect, we attain more in those states than what we had before because the states are more contradicting, sharper. We also discover ourselves in a different way, I guess there is a change.

S. Does it all depend on the suffering that people experience?

R. Yes a lot depends on the suffering.

S. Is there a way to use it in order to bring more people to this wisdom?

R. In our times we do not use the suffering we are prohibited to suffer. We have to try and get close to attaining Godliness to the extent that you can come close to Him. Through connection, through correcting the connection.

S. A few days ago I spoke to a friend, and he said an interesting discernment. I'd like to hear your opinion about it. He said it doesn't matter what we think about what is happening in Israel over the past several months, it doesn't matter if we are from the right or from the left. In practice what is happening here is that everyone, all the time, is speaking about the connection between us. For better or for worse, but from every angle this is the topic that is being discussed all the time?

R. Could be that this is how the Creator is bringing down this perception to those questions to the masses.

S. What is a new phase in the development where the Creator simply shows in His ways to the people of Israel, here in Israel at least? Guys, notice pay attention, look at that and then we begin to argue we agree, we don't agree?

R. Yes.

S. It is this period that we are in?

R. Yes and such types of scrutinies.

7. S. (15:04) Regarding godliness from the first excerpt, we were taught that the Creator’s also nature but here we read that the Creator is the owner of nature, that he can change it. He also writes that nature does not have any mind or consciousness. How can we reconcile these two different ideas?

R. Just as he writes just like that. That the Creator is nature, and we need to adhere to nature in a way that it will, we all will be immersed in it. Nature is one. We also have to relate to the Creator in such a way that his intention is one, to be in all actions like Baal HaSulam writes. I have nothing else to explain. We have to read about it, think about it more.

8. S. (16:27) First of all I want to say thank you very much. Why is the revelation of the Creator, why does it obligate the descents in the worlds in the four phases of direct light and their ascents of the worlds in the four phases of reflected light?

R. In order to bring all of creation back to its end and then to the beginning, we need to go through those stages.

S. Is love a screen between the light and the vessel?

R. Love is the light that fills the vessel and gives the vessel its own qualities of bestowal.
